These Ultimate Peanut Butter Flavor Extract Blondies deliver lush, chewy bars bursting with a smooth peanut butter aroma—thanks to the flavor extract. Simply whisk together melted butter and brown sugar until glossy, then beat in eggs, vanilla, and peanut butter extract. Gently fold in the flour-based dry mix, pour into a lined pan, and bake until the edges are set and the center is just moist. After cooling, you’ll enjoy rich, nutty blondies with an irresistible flavor punch.
Ingredients
-
½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted
-
1 cup packed brown sugar
-
2 large eggs
-
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
-
½ teaspoon peanut butter flavor extract (use between 0.25%–4% of total recipe for optimal aroma)
-
1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
-
½ teaspoon baking powder
-
¼ teaspoon salt
Directions
Preheat oven to 350 °F (175 °C). Line an 8×8-inch pan with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
Mix melted butter and brown sugar until smooth and shiny.
Beat in eggs one at a time, ensuring each is fully incorporated before adding the next.
Stir in extracts: vanilla plus peanut butter flavor extract for a bold, nutty aroma that stands out in every bite.
Combine dry ingredients—flour, baking powder, and salt—in a separate bowl. Gently fold into wet mix until just blended; avoid overmixing.
Spread batter evenly into prepared pan, smoothing the top.
Bake for 20–25 minutes, until edges are golden and a toothpick inserted near the center yields moist crumbs.
Cool completely, then slice into squares for beautifully chewy and flavorful blondies.
Recipe Note
10 FAQs: Peanut Butter Flavor Extract Blondies
How much peanut butter flavor extract should I use?
Start with ½ teaspoon (approx. 0.5% of the recipe) and adjust up to 4% (≈2 teaspoons) for stronger aroma.
Can I substitute with real peanut butter?
Yes—but using the extract enhances aroma without changing texture or moisture.
Is this extract allergen-free?

Can I freeze the blondies?
Absolutely. Freeze in airtight containers for up to 3 months; thaw before serving.
How should I store them?
Keep at room temperature in a sealed container for up to 5 days, or refrigerate for longer freshness.
Any gluten-free alternative?
Use a 1:1 gluten-free flour blend; watch baking time as texture may vary.
Can I make these vegan?
Swap butter for vegan butter and use flax "eggs" (1 tbsp ground flax + 3 tbsp water per egg). Expect slight texture differences.
What add-ins pair well?
Chocolate chips, chopped peanuts, swirl in peanut butter—enhance texture and flavor.
How to tell when they’re done?
Look for golden edges; center should yield moist crumbs on toothpick, not raw batter.
Why choose flavor extract over peanut butter powder?
Many find extract gives richer, more authentic peanut butter aroma.
